Oasis have announced the North American leg of their hugely anticipated 2025 reunion tour.
Following the news of a UK and Ireland tour in August – as brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher mended their once-bitter feud – the British rock band have now revealed that they will perform a string of shows in the US next summer.
The concerts will take place 16 years after their last performance in North America.
Oasis commented: “America… Oasis is coming. You have one last chance to prove that you loved us all along.”On Saturday evening (29 September), the British rock band unveiled snaps of huge billboards in various locations around the world, with the strapline reading: “Be careful what you wish for.”
The posts to social media also included the time and date of Monday (30 September) 8am ET (1pm BST), and added the hashtag #OasisLive25.
The “Champagne Supernova” stars initially teased the news with billboards placed in cities including Toronto, Chicago and LA.

Nelly Furtado recalls Liam and Noel showdown at Oasis gig in Vancouver: ‘It made it extra special’
Nelly Furtado has recalled an Oasis show she attended where brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher apparently got in a fight during the fifth song of the set.
The Canadian singer, 45, has often expressed her love of the British rock band over the years.
In a reader Q&A with The Guardian last week, she was asked whether she had managed to get tickets for their hugely anticipated 2025 reunion tour, which will include concerts in London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Dublin.
“I just taped Never Mind the Buzzcocks in the UK wearing my Oasis T-shirt – and this was before they announced the reunion, so my love of Oasis is not trendy,” she responded.
“It started when I was 17, with the first two albums. I feel like Noel Gallagher taught me to play guitar without him knowing, because I’d play along. My song ‘Turn Off the Light’ has the same chords as ‘Wonderwall’.”

Paul Heaton responds to Oasis furore after fans compared ticket prices
Paul Heaton has offered his take on the furore over Oasis and Ticketmaster’s “dynamic pricing” scheme, which saw fans fork out thousands to see the British rock band’s reunion next year.
The English singer, who fronted The Housemartins and The Beautiful South, is setting out on a solo arena tour in November and has capped tickets for the shows at £35, a move that has received strong praise from fans.
In August, amid the furore over the price of tickets to Oasis’s reunion shows and Ticketmaster’s “dynamic pricing” scheme, Heaton’s name began trending as fans compared the rock band unfavourably to Heaton.
Heaton himself has now suggested that the prices were to be expected from the “Champagne Supernova” stars.

Liam Gallagher issues furious rebuke to criticism of his singing at Wembley boxing fixture
Last week, Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher launched a furious rebuke to criticisms of his performance at Wembley at the weekend.
The Oasis singer, 52, performed a short set as part of the festivities for the Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois boxing match on Saturday (21 September).
It marked the first time Gallagher has performed since the hotly anticipated Oasis reunion was announced weeks ago.
However, some fans on social media criticised Gallagher’s vocals during the show, prompting the famously irascible musician to issue a foul-mouthed response on X/Twitter.
“To all those S***C***S who were crying about my ANGELIC TONES last night you ain’t real fans your just IMPOSTERS,” he wrote. “And if you do have tickets you wanna get rid off I’ll gladly take them off your hands we don’t want the likes of you at our concerts nxt year any way LF***ING.”

Liam Gallagher tells Oasis fan that a new album is ‘in the bag’
Earlier this month, Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher told a fan on social media that a new album from the band was “in the bag”, just days after the British rock band announced a sold out reunion tour.
Liam cheekily hinted that new music with his brother Noel has already been completed, as the fan in question asked the 51-year-old singer: “Mate it might be jumping the gun a bit but I feel an albums in the air? Imagine [sic].”
Liam, who is no stranger to making exaggerations on X/Twitter told the fan: “It’s in the bag mate f*** the air.”
No new music has been officially confirmed by Oasis, whose last studio album was Dig Out Your Soul in 2008. Both Liam and Noel have released a total of 10 albums respectively in various projects since Oasis split up in 2009.
